Laddy Plays Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn

[Laddy]

Good evening, and well met! Today I will embark on an epic journey of heroism and adventure! However, I need YOUR help to get me through it.

I will be playing Baldur's Gate II for the PC, one of my absolute favorite games. However, instead having a solo play with recruitable NPC's, I need a six-person party to help me survive the terrible world of Amn and all its treachery. So, will "brave" "adventurers" such as yourself be able to help me out? I'll show you guys the journey as I play through it with commentary.

Baldur's Gate II is a party-based RPG, so naturally I everyone to pick a race, class, alignment, and color scheme.

I actually only played through a fragment of BG2. I enjoyed it, but didn't really get into it like with the original. Maybe this'll spark up my interest again!

I really only liked two companion mods: Keto and Kelsey. The others never interested me all that much.

As for classes, I never really wanted to get new classed since I like my BG with good ol' D&D rules, so I never really wanted new classes.

OH, and ya'll three are in.

EDIT: I got a problem. In Multiplayer all the Protocols are grayed our for selection. Considering I'm doing this with a Custom Party instead is even more infuriating. Does anyone have any help?

[Madame Adequate]

Finch and Gavin are blatantly the best

Also the new classes ARE D&D classes!

I have no idea about the protocols, sorry!

[Laddy]

trout, the multiplayer was working a few days ago. trout. trout.

[Laddy]

Yes, I know. Double posts are bad. Sue me.

So, BG2 multiplayer is smurfed up, so I want to make it to you guys. I got Might & Magic 8, another party-based RPG except way more old-school and stuff. If you want, I can make a custom party with this. Is that ok? It is ok, Laddy and we are indebted to you and your technical brilliance. Yes, that's it. Update soon. I'm so sorry this didn't pan out but I think you'll enjoy this~!

EDIT: Of course when I got it from Good Old Games it would download and install TWICE causing INTERACTION BETWEEN SAVED GAMES SO SAVED GAMES ARE FOR NAUGHT. Good god. BG2 doesn't work. MM8 doesn't work. Life sucks.

[Pike]

Don't worry bro <3 You figure out what works and what doesn't, no rush!
